Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven a digital health evolution across healthcare, highlighting the potential for innovations within primary healthcare that could create long-term impacts for patient health and service efficiency. However, prioritising which innovations to invest time and money in and navigating the innovation pathway is a challenging prospect.

Aim

Comprising of 4 sessions of 2-hours each over a four-week period, you will explore how to assess the patient needs that will benefit most from innovation, how to prioritise your efforts for maximum output, and how to build the best solution for your practice. You will learn techniques to help define outputs and measures, and to build a development action plan. You will have the opportunity to work with industry experts and development specialists. The aim is to provide an innovation process to primary healthcare practices that will enable you to prioritise digital innovations and engage with support mechanisms within Wales and/or Ireland to progress innovations to implementation.

Eligibility

Register your interest for this event to attend the whole series, and we will check your eligibility based on the following criteria:

• Your Primary Healthcare Practice will need to be an SME
• Only one representative from the practice can attend, due to a restriction in participant numbers

Specialist Innovation Speaker and Workshop Format

Over the course of 4 weeks, the 2-hour sessions will be split to include a guest speaker who will address some key aspects of the healthcare digital innovation landscape in Wales and/or Ireland. Sessions will be followed by an interactive workshop hosted by Chris James from Business Partners, who will take you step by step through the innovation pathways for Primary Healthcare, and assisting you in creating a tailored innovation-decision model for your practice:

• Part 1: Understanding the Innovation Process
• Part 2: Planning for Innovation
• Part 3: Implementing Innovation
• Part 4: Bringing Innovation to Wales and Ireland

The workshops will address the issues, challenges and processes associated with innovation pathways within Primary Healthcare, through individual exercises and group activities with discussions in break out rooms. An electronic workbook will be provided to each participant, which will align with the content and activities within the workshops. It will also provide opportunities for discussion and Q&A, whilst building working relationships with health professionals, business innovation experts, and key people within the Welsh and Irish digital innovation landscape.
